CHI Cubs @ PIT Pirates · Money Line

CHI Cubs Win

Reasoning

Our Analysis

It’s an NL Central showdown as the Chicago Cubs head east to take on the Pittsburgh Pirates. Both teams are coming off back-to-back losses and will look to regain momentum heading into the month of May. This will be the first time the Cubs have faced anyone from their own division and it should be an exciting matchup as these two clubs are playing at completely different levels this season. It’s going to be a southpaw battle as the Cubs are expected to start Shota Imanaga who’s 2-1 with a 3.18 ERA in six starts this season. Imanaga has struck out 27 and has a WHIP of 1.09 in 34 innings. For the Pirates, Andrew Heaney has been having himself a year. The 11th-year veteran is 2-1 with a 1.72 ERA in five starts. In 31.1 innings pitched, Heaney has struck out 31 and has a WHIP of 0.77.

Heany has been impressive this season, there’s no denying that, but the last time he faced an offense as powerful as the Cubs were the Yankees back on April 6. The Cubs love hitting left-handed pitching, batting .282 with 11 homers. It doesn’t matter who the Pirates face, their offense is one of the worst in all of baseball, sitting in 27th in OPS (.645) and averaging just 3.5 runs per game. As for the Cubs, they’re first in all of baseball in OPS (.784) and average 5.9 runs per game. Heany is going to have his work cut out for him and at the end of the day, this Cubs team is more well-rounded than the Pirates, which is why I’ll be backing the Cubs moneyline as my best bet of the day.

BOS Red Sox @ TOR Blue Jays · Money Line

BOS Red Sox Win

Reasoning

Our Analysis

Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet looks to help his team make it 3 in a row as he takes the mound against the AL East rival Toronto Blue Jays. Boston is coming off a strong series against the Guardians, taking 2 out of 3and outsourcing Cleveland 24-11. The same can’t be said for the Blue Jays, who dropped 2 of 3 against the Yankees while getting outscored 18-7. Toronto has now lost 7 of its last 8 games and things won’t get much easier as it gets ready to face a tough Red Sox team tonight.

Crochet will make his seventh start of the year. In that span, Crochet is 2-2 with a 1.95 ERA. He wasn’t himself in his last outing against the Mariners, giving up 4 earned runs on 5 hits in five innings pitched. For the Jays, Bowden Francis will take the mound. He is 2-3 with a 3.58 ERA in 5 starts this season. Bowden struggled in his last appearance against the Astros, giving up 3 earned runs on 8 hits in just 4.2 innings pitched. The Blue Jays are averaging 2.5 runs per game in their last 11, whereas the Sox are averaging 5.8 in their last 12. Toronto’s offense has fallen off, and Bowden probably won’t get much run support based on the way things have been trending. I don’t think Crochet will have any issues rebounding from his last start, which is why I expect the Red Sox to keep things rolling and steal a win on the road — making Boston on the money line my best bet of the day.

Red Sox vs Blue Jays prediction: Boston ML (-135) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

MIA Marlins @ LA Dodgers · Run Line

LA Dodgers Win

Reasoning

Our Analysis

Here, we will see the Miami Marlins go up against the Los Angeles Dodgers for the second time this season. In yesterday’s game, we saw the Dodgers come away with a 7-6 victory in extra innings. The Marlins bullpen was called in early in this one due to Edward Cabrera giving up 9 hits and 5 runs in 4 innings. This was the 3^rd victory in a row for the Dodgers and the 3^rd loss in a row for the Marlins. The Marlins will look for Sandy Alcantara to turn things around. This may be a big ask, as he has given up 13 runs on 14 hits, including 8 walks in his last 13.2 innings pitched. To top it off, the Dodgers lineup hold a .306 batting average against Alcantara with a .515 slugging percentage. This is an extremely concerning statistic as the Dodgers have a .295 batting average over the past week. To make matters worse, the Marlins were forced to use 6 bullpen pitchers in the previous game. This means that they may be relying on Alcantara to go deep into the game to avoid burning out the bullpen.

Overall, the clear edge in this game comes in the form of the Dodgers bats. The Dodgers have a history of hitting Alcantara well. Additionally, the Dodgers have scored 24 runs in the last 3 games accruing a total of 37 hits. It is hard to believe that this will be the game where Alcantara is able to turn around his below-average form. Our lean is on the Dodgers to cover the run line.

Marlins vs Dodgers prediction: Los Angeles -1.5 (+110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

What Is An MLB Parlay

A parlay bet is a single bet in which you combine multiple selections. In an MLB parlay you multiply the odds of each individual selection to calculate the parlay odds, so the potential to bet small and win big is great. Similar to an NHL Parlay, MLB Parlays do not have a traditional points spread market, with the run line usually set at +/- 1.5 runs, and the odds change rather than the line itself.

The most commonly wagered markets in MLB parlay bets are Run Lines and Money Lines and are often used to increase the odds when betting on a couple of favorites.

With multiple games played on any given game day, MLB parlays are a great way to have a wager and interest in multiple games on today’s slate.

Our experts analyze every game of the MLB season, leaving no stone unturned in trying to find the best opportunities and strongest selections to make up our MLB parlay bets, all of which can be found here on our MLB Parlay Bets page.

How To Bet On Our MLB Parlay Picks

Betting on MLB picks and parlays is a quick and simple process with any online sportsbook. To create a parlay, you simply have to add multiple selections into your bet slip and click the parlay option before placing your wager.

Comparing odds is always important when placing a wager, but none more so than when placing a parlay bet. In the age of an expanding online sportsbook industry, sportsbooks are eager to custom and display this by competing to provide the best odds across their sportsbook. This is great for the bettor as you can shop around to find the best odds before placing your wager.

In an MLB parlay bet where you may be combining three strong favorites, each at odds of -200 with one online sportsbook, your $100 wager would return $338 if another sportsbook has the same three selections at odds of -150, a marginal difference, but with parlay odds multiplying, the difference in the payout is noticeable, with this scenario returning $463 for a $100 wager, $125 more.

How To Win An MLB Parlay Bet

MLB parlay bets are increasingly popular but can be notoriously tough to land, with teams often splitting MLB series’ and The premise that anyone can beat anyone, on any given day.

So avoiding these potential pitfalls in adding selections to your MLB parlay is the toughest part. Our experts analyze everything from team form and news, matchups, weather conditions, and a wealth of player and team statistics ahead of making all of our MLB predictions to try best to reduce the chances of this.

Here are a couple of popular MLB parlay strategies used to try and increase the value of your odds with the aim of avoiding baseball’s variance and give yourself the best chance of turning a profit long term.

Parlaying large favorites – Straight wagers on large favorites offer bettors little value, a $100 wager on a -200 favorite will return just $150, a little reward for your risk. Combining two favorites at the same odds of -200 would see your same $100 stake would return $225, a more appealing return for your wager.
Home Favourite and Under – You can parlay the money line and run total in the same game and a large home favorite and the under is a popular choice amongst MLB parlay bettors. Home teams bat last in baseball, and when they have a lead, the game only goes 8.5 innings instead of 9, a plus for unders backers.

Our expert handicappers have a wealth of experience wagering on MLB parlay bets, with tried and tested strategies and analysis in hand, we provide the best free MLB parlay bets throughout the season.

How To Calculate MLB Parlay Odds

An MLB parlay bet is a single wager on multiple MLB Picks, with all selections needing to win for your ticket to cash. One of the main reasons sports bettors wager on MLB parlays is due to a large number of games, and an MLB parlay bet allows you to wager on multiple games at bigger odds than straight wagers.

One aspect of the parlay bet that can confuse sports bettors is the odds of an MLB parlay bet. Where some examples like NFL Parlays will comprise of selections such as Against The Spread or Totals, these are fixed odds of always around +110 or -110, and thus, the parlay odds stay fairly constant too with a 3-team NFL parlay around 6/1 or a 4-team parlay around 12/1.

With MLB parlays, the markets are often not fixed odds, instead, the run line is fixed at +/-1.5 runs or +/- 0.5 runs with the odds changing to reflect the matchup. Similarly, Moneyline odds, which are also common in MLB parlays, will differ depending on the matchup, so calculating parlay odds aren’t as simple.

To calculate parlay odds you must multiply the odds of each selection of the parlay, the easiest form of odds to do this with is decimal.

For Example

If you want to parlay three selections at odds of 3.0, 4.3, and 2.2 you simply multiply the odds of your selections and then by your stake to calculate your winnings.

3.0 x 4.3 x 2.2 = 28.38 odds

28.38 x $50 stake = $1,419 payout.

All online sportsbooks will calculate the parlay odds and potential payouts for your selections if you add them to your bet slip and click on the parlay tab.

Baseball Parlays – What Is An MLB Same Game Parlay

An MLB Same Game Parlay is the same as a regular MLB parlay, a multi-selection single bet, the difference being, the MLB Same Game Parlay sees all of the picks come from the same match rather than a selection from multiple different matches. The big positive of an MLB Same Game Parlay is that by combining multiple picks you can shoot for a bigger win on the game you’re watching or the team you root for, as like all parlays, the odds of your MLB Saem Game Parlay increase with each selection.

MLB Same Game Parlays also allow us to be strategic in our approach and knowing which picks to combine with one another. One of the most popular MLB Same Game Parlay strategies is to add correlated props and picks to the parlay. What we mean by correlated props is choosing picks that are in some way linked to each other, with the outcome of one pick likely to improve the chances of another. For Example, if you like a team in a particular spot because they have a favorable matchup against the starting pitcher, you might envision an easy win for the team in a high-scoring, high-action game. In this spot, you may look to parlay the team to win on the run line, or even an enhanced run spread, say -2.5 runs, along with a number of players to have 2+ hits, to score a run or hit a home run. By combing these picks, if you are right in your analysis that a team can score and cover -.2.5 runs, if they do, the batters will likely be registering plenty of hits and runs themselves.

As with any type of Parlay wager, the more selections you add to your MLB Same Game Parlay, the more difficult it is to win, but also that more the odds will increase. It’s a fine line between shooting for the stars and trying to seek out value in an MLB Parlay so adding 3 or 4 picks is usually a better option for your main play with a sprinkle play on a parlay with more selections than that.
